rss_max_key_size in the virtio spec is the maximum key size supported by
the device, not a mandatory size the driver must use. Also the value 40
is a spec minimum, not a spec maximum.

The current code rejects RSS and can fail probe when the device reports a
larger rss_max_key_size than the driver buffer limit. Instead, clamp the
effective key length to min(device rss_max_key_size, NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN)
and keep RSS enabled.

This keeps probe working on devices that advertise larger maximum key sizes
while respecting the netdev RSS key buffer size limit.

v3:
- Moved RSS key validation checks to virtnet_validate.
- Add fixes: tag and CC -stable
v4:
- Use NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN instead of type_max for the maximum rss key size.
v5:
- Interpret rss_max_key_size as a maximum and clamp it to NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN.
- Do not disable RSS/HASH_REPORT when device rss_max_key_size exceeds NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN.
- Drop the separate patch that replaced the runtime check with BUILD_BUG_ON.
